Yossi J. Levi

Founder & CEO | Car Dealership Guy

Yossi J. Levi is the founder of Car Dealership Guy, the leading media platform in automotive retail, sharing content, news, and insights to help dealers and industry professionals stay informed and ahead.

His journey in the car business started at 14, working at his dad’s small used car lot in Philly, where he saw a clear need for more transparency in the industry.

In 2018, he launched Gettacar, a fully online auto retailer that sold over 3,000 cars a year nationwide, backed by $50M in funding from investors like 3L Capital, Luxor Capital, Headline, and Torch. By 2021, sales had grown 270% year-over-year, reaching $80M annually. But, as life would have it, the market shifted, competition became brutal, and by 2023, he had to shut it down.

But Yossi J. Levi is not one to sit around, and he knew his job was not yet done. So he quickly got back up and started Car Dealership Guy later that year, leveraging his then-anonymous social media persona. Today, it’s recognized as a trusted source for industry professionals, reaching over 30 million impressions monthly and earning features in Apple News, the NY Post, and Forbes.

Along the way, he’s been honored with awards like EY Entrepreneur of the Year and recognition as one of Goldman Sachs’ Top 100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs.
